Only the amount of job-related expenses that are OVER 2% of your adjusted gross income get added to your list of itemized deductions, which still must exceed your standard deduction in order to make a difference on your return.  This is kind of a hard deduction to get.  If you need to enter these, go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses.

Hello there,

You can enter job expenses in the Personal Information section select Deductions & Credits. Then scroll down to Employment Expenses, and you'll see "Job Related Expenses" under that.

I hope this was helpful, thank you for being apart of the TurboTax family!
